What Does An Adjustment Feel Like?
Most people report that generally adjustments are painless. In fact, many people look forward to their adjustment as it gives them a feeling of ease and well being. With some techniques, you may hear or feel a ‘popping’ sound from the spinal joint. This is nothing to worry about and quite normal. The sound is simply caused by the popping of a tiny bubble of gas that may form in the joint fluid. It’s similar to ‘popping’ your knuckles and it doesn’t alter the efficacy of the adjustment. If you are in moderate to acute pain, you may experience a little discomfort, often due to the inflammation, but we will do our best to make you as comfortable as we can.
